I have the V3460. I held off on buying one because I was afraid I would not use it...I was wrong. I use it every week and love it. I wish I had bought one a long time ago. I cannot think of any cons, but the pros are 1) If I over-cook, which tends to happen when I cook, I can freeze the leftovers 2) as you stated, I buy in bulk and freeze 3) I freeze veggies from my garden for use over the winter and 4) you can quickly marinate steaks, chicken, etc. The bags are expensive so you have to factor that into your food savings, but I wait until they have a sale and stock up. Also, Costco and Sams have bulk deals on the bags sometimes. Hope this helps.

They turn out great...no freezer burn and everything still tastes fresh. I bought a big box of sliced mangos last month and froze them. I took some out of the freezer this evening and made some mango chutney and mango salsa and both tasted great. I have found that when I freeze pulled pork, it stays more moist if I freeze it after I sauce it. I have frozen pulled pork, veggies, fruit, dressing and brisket after they were cooked and veggies, raw meats, raw fish, etc. prior to being cooked. I love caramelized onions but I don't like the smell of them cooking so I cook a ton of them at a time them freeze them in individual servings.

I feel like the 3400 is nice cause of how it helps with the bags and the bag cutter. But the other model is so much cheaper.

We have the one with the bag cutter and storage for the roll so much better than the old one we had where you had the cut the bag store them elsewhere . Either one you won't regret and will find you use it as much as the egg .Also you can buy bulk bags on ebay and other places online cheaper than most stores

Our Sam's Club had these in the clearance section. We bought one (even though we already have two) - it was half off the normal price. Plus, came with about $35 worth of bags.

I'm using the Game Saver Silver due to its larger capacity, quick repetitive sealing and the 12 volt cord. It's not pretty and you won't want to let it sit on your kitchen counter, but it's a workhorse.

My local Craigslist has a 3250 for $150. It includes a bunch of accessories. They say its new and was a gift that they won't use. It think if I can talk them down to $100, I'll go for it. Anyone think this is a good deal? Anyone think this is a good model?
